Catalyst Group Manager allows you to provide and control access to your Catalyst tools for your students, participants, and assistants. Group Manager reads from Student Information Systems to update your groups nightly with the latest class list information from the registrar. You can also create groups that are not connected to class lists. Groups can be used with multiple Catalyst Tools, so you don't have to create a new group for each tool.

You can view the people who are members of your groups in two ways:

1. On the Group Manager home page, click the number listed in the "Members" column in the table of your groups. A window will pop-up and display the usernames (UW NetIDs) and names of the current members of your group. To close the list of members, click Close Window.

OR

1. On the Group Manager home page, click the name of the group you would like to view. You will move to the "Group Summary" page for that group.

   The "Group members" list will remain visible until you click Hide members to close it. If you use the "Viewing:" drop-down menu to move to the summary for another group while the list of members is displayed, the members for the new group will also be displayed.
